Abstract: Provided herein are compounds that inhibit glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) giving them antiviral activity. In particular, the invention relates to a subset of compounds represented by Formulas (I) and (II), for use as antiviral agents in the treatment or prevention of viral infection. Methods for using the GSK3 inhibitor compounds in the treatment or prophylaxis of a viral infection are provided. In particular, the viral infection may be selected from one or more of the following: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus-1 SARS-CoV-1) infection; SARS coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection; and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MFRS) coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection. More specifically, the viral infection may be a human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) infection.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, media and signals for identifying associated cell signaling proteins are disclosed. The method involves producing and storing a comparison value for each pair of the cell signaling proteins in response to data values representing physical properties of respective cell signaling proteins. The method further involves identifying cell signaling protein pairs having comparison values satisfying a condition indicative of an association between the cell signaling proteins.
